If you're considering childbirth classes such as Lamaze, Bradley, or another method of childbirth preparation, your childbirth educator will play an important role in the process.
What You Need to Know
Childbirth educators are certified; their names are usually followed by letters like CCE (Certified Childbirth Educator) or CBA (Certified Birth Assistant).
Childbirth education ranges from the well-known Lamaze and Bradley methods, to the spiritual and emotional preparation, hypnosis, and other methods.
Childbirth educators can be located through Pregnancy Centers, the Yellow Pages, and adoption professionals.
In fully open adoptions, pregnant women often choose one or both adopting parents as their partners in childbirth preparation.
Doulas (birthing assistants) and midwives often provide education and participate in the birth process with you. Deciding which method of childbirth education is right for you can be the biggest hurdle. To help, try this evaluation from BabyCenter.
